Despite the quite
scary-looking list of known bugs in this version, I decided to give 10.1b4 a try and downloaded the 5 CD ISO images.
Unfortunately my installation attempt fizzled out quite quickly after the the first reboot - the bootup procedure aborted while trying to initialize the LVM, which I run on top of a Software-RAID. Some research on the
Novell Bugzilla revealed that this had been reported already (
BUG#152237) - I hope it will be resolved for the next beta version.
I've added this one to the Most Annoying Bugs list now and hope to find a workaround so I can continue the installation. Otherwise I will have to wait for the next beta, as I can't change the disk layout on this system...
